Brimson has been great at fullback so it makes sense to keep him there and shift Gordon to a wing. I donít think itís the best of ideas to have two utilities on the bench, and I also donít think Mitch Rein should lose his spot there because heís been very good coming off the bench. It makes the most sense to start Roberts in at 5/8. I think with a full pre-season too, Bryce should be good to go. Iíd much rather see him in the side anyway than Will Matthews. If we can nail consistency and get used to performing for 80 minutes, we should be a really troubling side.

Going to be interesting to see what comes of the off season regarding signings. For me, we are still in need of a decent 6. I don't think that we will be threatening to many teams with Roberts playing there. AJ is well and truely the first picked fullback now so we need to fill that gap. Hopefully we can get Ryley Jacks over the line but if not I'd be contacting the Cowboys about the availability to TMM or Hampton. They will have Barba, Morgan and their young gun as the starting spine so they won't need two utilities/cover playmakers.

Does anyone on here know whether we have signed Max King for next year? I'd have him as the back up prop for 2019, which leaves Boyle, Stockwell and Latu all either surplus to requirements or extra depth. Hopefully we can offload at least one of them to free up some cap space for a decent halve or another outside back (preferably Latu to the super league or something).

Our squad does seem pretty finalised for next season though and is looking in a lot better shape than it did a year ago. It would be nice to see Troy Leo rewarded for his form in QCup and given a contract to put pressure on Don. If Peachey doesn't end up coming then it may throw a bit of a spanner in the works as without him our centre options are pretty limited.

last bench spot could go to one of 6 people but i think King could get first crack.

5/8th is Peachey or Roberts. is its Peachey then Roberts plays for burleigh, if it Roberts, then Peach goes into the pool on 3/4 options.

Peachey, Copley, Hurrell, Brenko, Gordon and Sami fighting over 2 centre spots and 1 wing spot. you could say Don isn't guaranteed a spot either, but he is Mr reliable on his side and id be surprised of he got dumped after 5 odd years of locking down one side.

And trying to weigh up the pros and cons is doing my head in, so i'm going to let pre season come and go, and trust Garth to pick the right people in round 1, and then also trust him to relegate people who aren't performing which he has done this year when possible. the good news is there are some ingredients there to work with and we have some depth in the position

I would throw a question mark over Proctor too DB ... he needs to bring a lot more than just be Taylor's go to man. King is a sure thing you'd have to think, plus Stockwell brings more and more each time he plays. I also think Hurrell has largely redeemed himself ... very interesting decisions to be made and a long way to go before we will get an inkling of Brennan's thinking.

Hurrell had apparently redeemed his wayward warrior ways when he came to us. But then he reverted to form. He is an asset to the team when he is switched on but seems to lose interest.

The spots I will be interested to see is 6 and 14 as they are intertwined with Peachey and Roberts coming to the club. If Peach goes to 6 then Roberts or Rein get the 14 but if Peach goes to centre then I am not sure what happens, perhaps this.
1. Gordon
2. Don
3. Peachy
4. Copley
5. Sami
6. Brimson
14. Roberts/Rein

But as NZ said a few posts up if we get Jacks then that changes things again.

No Rein and No Sami? Geez you're hard task master. I'd take Lee over Hurrell any day of the week and twice on Sundays. Person who should be worried about getting a spot should be Taylor, won't happen but with Peachey, Roberts and AJ sniffing around by rights he should be made to feel just as worried as anyone else.

Agree - Rein HAS to be there, and Sami probably deserves his spot at least as much as Lee / Hurrell / Copley / Gordon, toss in he is a guy we want in our team in 5 years and you might as well play him. He has let no one down this year

Troy Leo will grab a contract of some kind, wait for an injury and burst onto the scene with a double on debut to go on to be leading try scorer for the yr and then we will use Gordon’s money from retirement to snap him up.
